A Challenge - Make Your Vow and Keep It

Joshua wanted to make sure that the children of Israel were going to remain committed to serving God. So he called them together and shared his concerns with them. He was concerned that they would become complacentand take God’s Law for granted. He was also concerned that they would compromise their standards by worshipping the idols of the Canaanites.

Joshua encouraged the people to remember: His works on their behalf; His wrath if they did not serve Him; His will that all men should serve Him; and His witness to all their actions.

Then Joshua challenged the people to serve God; and they vowed that they would serve God and obey Him.

Joshua therefore erected a monument as a constant reminder to the people of their vow.

See Joshua 23:1 – 24: 33

Have you made a vow to the Lord? What did you covenant with Him to do? Are you doing what you promised to do? If not, today would be a good day to make it right.
